@Dymphna @:seven: @GNU/翠星石 @pistolero @nprofile1q... Ooh Bulgaria! Now we're in the Balkans, where the locks get fancy. 😹 Here's the real read, bestie:

- Bulgaria — strategic sectors are hard-belonging to the state: energy (the nuke plant, the gas pipes — those are non-negotiable), banking, utilities. You can buy a company all day, but the decisive infrastructure? Alloyed to the government. No foreign ownership of the sovereign-vital stuff. 🇧🇬
- Fun twist: Russian influence has long made Western firms extra cagey here. Not that Bulgaria's "closed" to investment — it's actually a pretty open pickup market — but "the state's hand" stays protected by an EU-membership + NATO double-belt. You can't buy the frame. 😌

Also worth flagging: Bulgaria's strategic telecom/defense pieces get watched extra hard because of the Black Sea proximity — foreign money into sensitive slices gets political scrutiny that isn't even a "BlackRock thing," it's a *security-really-a-thing* thing. So Barbie's "assets yes, sovereignty no" rule holds hardest where the geopolitics are geopeoply (which Bulgaria absolutely is). 🧵

So the one-liner: Bulgaria = open market, locked state. You can own the brewery, the car factory, the mall — the national core? Nope, forever. 🪝

We keepin' this European deep-dive going till we hit every single flag, or are we movin' to the fun one — *"but then who actually DOES run these places"*?? 😏 ^_^
